Human Mobility and Technological Transfer in the
Prehistoric Mediterranean
The diverse forms of regional connectivity in the ancient world have
recently become an important focus for those interested in the deep
history of globalisation. This volume represents a significant contri-
bution to this new trend as it engages thematically with a wide range
of connectivities in the later prehistory of the Mediterranean, from
the later Neolithic of northern Greece to the Levantine Iron Age, and
with diverse forms of materiality, from pottery and metal to stone and
glass. With theoretical overviews from leading thinkers in prehistoric
mobilities, and commentaries from top specialists in neighbouring
domains, the volume integrates detailed case studies within a com-
parative framework. The result is a thorough treatment of many of
the key issues of regional interaction and technological diversity fac-
ing archaeologists working across diverse places and periods. As this
book presents key case studies for human and technological mobility
across the eastern Mediterranean in later prehistory, it will be of
interest primarily to Mediterranean archaeologists, though also to
ancient historians, historians and anthropologists.
